单词 phota
释义

photan.

Brit. /ˈfəʊtə/, U.S. /ˈfoʊdə/
Forms: 1600s footaes (plural), 1600s–1700s phota, 1700s– photaes (plural).
Origin: A borrowing from Persian. Etymons: Persian fūta, fūṭa.
Etymology: < Persian fūta, fūṭa (apparently in an Indo-Persian form fota ) rectangular piece of cloth used as napkin, towel, turban-cloth, loin-cloth, etc.; further etymology disputed. Arabic fūṭa (see futah n.) is variously regarded as a borrowing of the Persian word or as its etymon; if the cloth is of Indian origin, both are perhaps ultimately < Hindi phūṭā broken, dispersed (hence in unattested sense, either ‘variegated’ or ‘unsewn rag’).
Now historical.
A cotton fabric originally produced in India. Usually in plural. Cf. lungi n.
